Road Trip FAQ

Why are you doing this trip?
Why the hell not???

What are some road trip hazards?
Besides not always getting to sleep or shower as much as we’d like, there have been a few technical issues along the way. Due to an unfortunate soda-bottle-opening-in-the-purse-at-The-Met issue, Amanda’s phone is currently malfuctioning. There was also the shampoo-bottle-leaking-in-the-backpack episode that has left my laptop sticky and smelling very clean. So a word to the wise: keep your electronics away from liquids! Duh.

Do you guys ever get into fights?
Only when Amanda loses at Shuffleboard.

What kind of music do you listen to while driving?
Luckily, Amanda and I are perfect road trip partners because we have almost exactly the same taste in music and opposite taste in which parts of the Chex Mix we like (for the record, Amanda likes the Chex and I like the bagel chips). We listen to a LOT of The Format and The Honorary Title. Other favorites include Brand New, Jimmy Eat World, Something Corporate, Cassino, and Death Cab for Cutie. Also, we have been listening to all the mix Cds that people have given us and that we have made along the way. At the moment, our favorite songs are Citizen Cope’s cover of "Karma Police," Alkaline Trio’s single "Help Me," and Weezer’s new song "Troublemaker."

What has been your favorite part so far?
We both really loved our stay at the Pedrazzi ranch, but there have been so many amazing moments. Look for some highlights when we do our road trip wrap-up posts later this week.

Wow, you guys are so awesome! I wish I could do a road trip like you!
Yeah, too bad. It’s quite exhausting to be this Awesome, and not just anyone can achieve our level of Awesomeness. Maybe if you check out our Awesome photos, some of the Awesomeness will rub off on you.
Okay, seriously, anyone can do any kind of road trip they want! It’s just a matter of planning it out and making it happen.
